I would be too busy eating chorizo and tapas and trying my American charm to work.

I remember all these unboxing vids of some press releases of games a few years ago...

Yeah, I remember one from a guy dancing and kissing a game box, disgusting >.<

Wasnt it Skyrim? I just remember after the unboxing the journalists sold all the things on ebay to earn money. Some Assassins Creed flags and shit like that.

Places like IGN and Gamespot still do it. There also some not so subtle 'I'll be taking this home after' remarks sometimes too.

well, it is a stealth bragging thread after all, starting from 970s to gamecount, to free games, to cheevos, what do you expect? (><)
journos are people too, and people like to brag!

If you saw the amount of free shit that comes in the post here everyday and the reactions different people make you might think about that differently. Normally when this stuff ends up in the newsdesk or editorial there's a lot of loud audible groans because it means someone has to review something, interview someone, contact an advertising agency, or the shock horror of having to do some field work (I swear the vast majority of journalists here are afraid of the sun).

Now if it falls to my department or the sales department it's either free shit or stuff to play pranks on your colleagues with. Like the one day I got back from lunch and found my pockets of my coat full of scampi fries. 2 dry cleanings later and that coat still stank!

Yeah, I think it was Skyrim.

greenlight update: almost 90 games were greenlit last week, unfortunately none of those I wanted, it seems.
Eternal Forest still not greenlit

as for new additions

someone decided to make a game about fishing and fun

it gives me Pokemon vibes for some reason.

and amount of online games amazes me more and more, them being greenlit all the time implies some conspiracy theories. (><)

 

[MUnited83]

Both Kane and Lynch games are pretty good and quite underrated, imo. Buy them! Multiplayer is also great albeit now dead. It was Payday before Payday was a thing.

Where can I see what was greenlit?

I dont know. I still guess people vote for it because they will be free...

Do you have a link with the games that were greenlit? I can't never find that stuff.

Also awesome avatar decorations !

When I am in China, the prices are in american dollars instead of Euros.

Wut? xD

I would be too busy eating *chouriço and tapas and trying my American charm to work.

FTFY

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Wut? xD

Valve still didnt implement the chinese currency.

 

[Arthea]

There is no list of greenlit games anymore, sometimes I can fish some especially if these are games I voted for or favourited, but this time I can name only few for sure:

Super Cane Magic ZERO

Rooster Teeth vs. Zombiens

and maybe some others, but I won't be making full list, as it's too much work.

Well I thought the first one was bad, so I suppose it would have to be underrated.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Even Valve doesnt give a shit about GL anymore, when they dont even make a list of what games have been greenlit...

 

[Dr Dogg]

I can't tell anyone about a game that has yet to unlock.

Don't worry fanto it's not a dig aimed specifically at you. Moreover the lack of professionalism from some sections of the industry and more over folks actually doing it as their profession unlike yourself as a hobby. I follow a few cultural critics and commentators on twitter and next to never are they letting you know they got screening tickets to something, prerelease books, promo CD's by certain peeps in the gaming media can't help but tease and brag, even if it's a post to say' I can't say anything about X but look out soon'. I'm also surprised how open some of these folks are allowed to talk on social media and there isn't a shit load of stipulations and clauses in their contracts.

There's this: It's very incomplete thought, since creator decided to only monitor select games.

Thanks, Distant Star looks interesting.

I just found it curious considering the 3 currencies involved (also that it follows the patten: in A be B while C)

I think Early access has taken away the appeal out of Green Lighting

Grats, man. Let us know how it is. : )[/QUOTE]

I love this movie and this is my new favorite gif.

 

[Nzyme32]

I got 14 games, all of them gifts from GAFers! I'm waiting for Ground Zeroes to drop before I buy my first

I haven't even started playing yet, just got a GPU yesterday and I want to format and reinstall Windows first because I haven't done so since 2010 and my PC is currently an unappealing mess :O

Well you have to start somewhere. Good luck with it. I'm sure you'll enjoy the steaminess once you get going. Mgsv GZ is what I'm gunning for when it finally shows up for preorder - I'm guessing on december 5th as part of the game awards sale

http://greenlight.dgcs.info/?p=1&o=1&s=1&b=&ts=

that's what I do, I mostly monitor only games I'm interested in, but I do check all submitted, only making comprehensible sheet with so many updates daily is not work I'm willing to do. (><)

It's automated system, he created.

 

[Dr Dogg]

So I'm trying to set my Market affairs in order before being locked out for a bit because I'm stupid but noticed there's still quite a lack of stats and analytics to gauge the market for wildly fluctuating items or come to a common price. Don't want to dump more work on you shackles but how hard would it be to grab mean, mode, range and common prices by quantity sold from what the Item page throws up in it's history? Not that it took me that long to knock something up in Excel but I guess that would be an Enhancement

 

[Arthea]

It's automated system, he created.

if it's automated system, he could have included all games! That would be very good resource tracking greenlit games.

edited: Indiegala with their Blockstorm
Seriously, how much shoving it into our eyes every time we take a turn here they think we can take? (><)

edit2: I think it's having opposite effect to intended, actually

 

[Mr. Doop]

Well, I just bought Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death. I hope it's as good as you guys say it is.

 

[ViviOggi]

If you edit right after you posted, it won't look like that.

I didn't though

I knew it!

If you don't like it, you'd better check your pulse, cause you might be dead.

It can't touch the Character Action greats but it's better than God of War.

Don't raise his expectations so high, it's a OK quirky game.

I'm pretty sure Marlow Briggs has James Hong doing voice work for the main bad guy.

 

[someguyinahat]

Yeah, quirky is the right word for it. But when I played it I was definitely in the right mood for a quirky game. Still, it's hard to see anyone playing that game and thinking they wasted their dollar, unless they were in a really bad place at the time or something.

 

[spindoctor]

Bought Child of Light through a trader. Then I go to the Steam page for the game and I see it has an additional $10 worth of DLC (discounted). Can't say I'm particularly amused right now. Is any of this DLC important?

 

[Anteater]

I found marlow briggs a bit boring, probably to do with the enemy encounters, I'll need to finish it some day.

 

[Arthea]

The Rock Opera a videogame?! Why there is no talk about it?

you, sir, are 100% correct

No, most of them are just stat buffs. There is one that is a side quest, but there are plenty of side quests in the actual game and you wouldn't notice its omission.

Steamworks never ceases to amaze me.
I picked up Shadow of Mordor in an Amazon sale, expecting the usual retail kerfuffle (install it, check for updates, manually add a launcher in Steam, have to deal with some nasty Uplay-style client).
Bam, as soon as I put in the disc, Steam pops up, asks for a CD key, recognises the game as one of its own, and proceeds to take over, copying the game files across from the disc and then handling the updates.

This is service.

Who the hell plays a fishing game for the fishing.
Never even did that with Bass Fishing on Dreamcast.
